Turns out it's only an issue if you have the nvidia package enabled, as it'll use the libgl mesa from the nvidia package (details escape me). Removing the nvidia drivers makes it work just fine.

Conflicting proprietary video drivers nvidia and vmware could certainly cause issues with 3D support, glad it sounds like you got it sorted out.
